Quotes from Edith Södergran

That the stars are adamant everyone understands— but I won't give up seeking joy on each blue wave or peace below every gray stone.

The inner fire is the most important thing mankind possesses.

I don't create poetry, I create myself, for me my poems are a way to me.

You sought a flower and found a fruit. You sought a spring and found a sea. You sought a woman and found a soul - you are disappointed.

The inner fire is the most important thing mankind possesses.

I don't create poetry, I create myself, for me my poems are a way to me.
